Read the two excerpts
. "Remembering to Never Forget: Dominican Republic's 'Parsley Massacre’” by Mark Memmott:
As for Trujillo, he stayed in power until 1961, when he was assassinated. Last year, the BBC spoke with one of the army officers who killed the dictator. "The only way to get rid of him was to kill him,” Gen. Antonio Imbert told the BBC.

"A Genetics of Justice” by Julia Alvarez:

On May 30, 1961, nine months after our escape from our homeland, the group of plotters with whom my father had been associated assassinated the dictator. Actually, Dominicans do not refer to the death as an assassination but as an ajusticiamiento, a bringing to justice. Finally, after thirty-one years, Trujillo was brought to justice, found guilty, and executed.

The subject of both passages is

the circumstances under which Trujillo died.
how Trujillo's death affected individuals.
how Trujillo improved the Dominican Republic.
what life was like under the dictatorship.

Passage one and two state that Trujillo was assassinated by a group of plotters. In the first passage, the facts are stated and one of the army officers who killed him said that murdering him was the only way out. On the other hand, in the second passage, the child of one of the people who assassinated Trujillo states that the assassination was seen as a way to bring justice.

Passage one never discusses how Trujillo's death affected individuals, it does not say anything about bringing justice back to the people. Neither one of the passages mentions how Trujillo improved the Dominican Republic or how life was under the dictatorship.

What we understand from a text, or the main point being discussed by the author is the central idea. The central idea of the text is;

The circumstances under which Trujillo died.

The circumstance under which the dictator died is described not as an assassination but a bringing to justice.

Trujillo had tormented the Dominican Republic so much that the people rejoiced when he died. In the first passage, we learn the date and the manner in which Trujillo was killed.

Passage two highlighted further on that. So, these two shows the circumstances of Trujillo's death.
